With the new allergy legislation coming
into effect on December 13ththis
year we thought we would give you 4 quick and easy steps to make sure your
business is prepared for the new rules and regulations.

1. Train staff. A great resource to get clued up is FSA's website where your key
staff can get certified with a simple online test.

2. Labelson food tubsnot only keep your kitchen organised but also make sure chefs and
anyone preparing food know exactly what is going into each recipe. They can
then inform waiting staff of precisely what ingredients are in each dish.

3. Clear signage around your restaurant make sure your customers know where
to ask about potential allergens and inform you of any special dietary
requirements. Table signs, wall notices and window stickers are the perfect way
to direct your customers to the right person.
